Nina yanked her arm out of her partner's grip, scowling. "I don't think it was a Twist of Fate." She was serious, it didn't sound like a high pitched peeling and it stopped almost straight away. "Doesn't matter anyway. I'm going to keep an eye out for them anyway, not like I'd deliverately step on-" she was interuptted by the ear splitting screech of a Twist of Fate. "And of course, just as I say that!"
She leant down to pull the card and timer out of the machine, her 2 minutes already ticking away. "'You have been infected by anthrax from a local laboratory explosion. You have two minutes to find the cure near the river, good luck.' Of course I get this!" she yelled, heading towards the river as fast as she could. She didn't bother waiting for Julia to come, she just expected her to. Running by the banks she pointed at the timer that would stop her losing the game straight away. It was stuck on the edge of a log in the middle over the overhang above the river. She cussed under her breath, but slowly made her way across the slippery wood, ducking down to grasp it in her hand. She slipped however, landing in the river, the current taking her downstream quickly. Landing on the bank with barely any time left, she stood and with a trembling hand shoved the card in to stop the timer. "I did it!" she cried happily, wiping the water out of her face. "Oh god." She panted as she walked towards Julia, grinning. "Looks like I'm living another day."
Rod grinned at her, pushing away from the tree after she began to walk. "That's hot," he muttered, heading off in the same direction as her. He paused when he heard screams which were cut short, followed by the sound of a Twist of Fate. "Thank god that wasn't one of us."
